5 Non-Awkward Ways To DTR (Without Having "The Talk")

Everyone is wondering what the deal is between you two, so turn their nosiness into a good thing. Casually say to him, "My friends keep asking what's going on between us. What should I tell them?" It's a smooth way to get him thinking about it.

2. Take Your Hangouts Public
If all you two do is watch movies at his place, it can be hard to figure out where you stand. Invite him out with other friends in couples. He'll either step up and act like you guys are one too, or he won't. Either way, you'll be clearer on your status.

3. Open Up About Everything Else
When you both feel comfortable sharing deep stuff, you're moving into relationship territory. Next time your convo gets intimate, ease into DTR mode by telling him how important he is to you. If he's feeling open, he'll respond with his thoughts about you.

4. Schedule a Way-Later Date
Start talking about exciting plans down the road, as in, "Drake is coming to town — let's get tix!" If he's committed to hanging out with you four months from now, he's committed to you.

5. Mention Other Guys
Some guys don't think about exclusivity until they start to worry that you may be seeing other people. Make it clear you like him but have other dudes in your life (even if they're just friends). It will make him really think about what he wants with you.
